This whole thing would have been a big nothingburger if he would have simply admitted that he made a mistake by secretly talking about county business. But instead he decided to lie under oath. That has proven to be a stupid decision.
Agree.

All he had to do was say, “Yeah, we made some phone calls. Sorry. Won’t happen again.” He would have been fined a couple hundred $$ and probably still be a commissioner. That’s how it has worked for many who have “inadvertently” compromised the Sunshine Laws in Florida.
